Remix the new Deadmau5 on your iPhone
February 16, 2009
Here’s yet another new concept in music distribution. Toronto-based electronic artist Deadmau5 released an album’s worth of tracks with an iPhone application that lets you remix them. You can pick two of the ten included tracks, and then mix them together using a small set of effects (loop, filter, flange, delay). You can even scratch. The one thing you don’t get to do (or have to do – how you feel about it depends on your perspective and experience) is beat-matching—the two tracks are automagically synched, and while you can speed up or slow down the bpm, the tempi for both tracks change simultaneously. While the app does an interesting end-run around iTunes pricing restrictions (it’s only $2.99), it’s mostly just ridiculously fun to play with.

This is the coolest thing. WANT IPHONE
It really is amazingly fun, although the $3 pricetag is kind of misleading, since it does piggyback on a few hundred dollars of hardware and over a grand’s worth of data access fees. Maybe you can find an accommodating friend?
